本人目前身份F1 OPT。所有申请材料在结婚前早就准备好了,只等结婚证。申请没有找律师,如果英文过关的话找律师完全是浪费钱,各种表格的instruction 如何填写以及需要什么补充材料写的清清楚楚,只是很多信息都是重复的,有点浪费时间。仔细阅读所有表格的instruction后准备的材料分享在最后仅供参考,每人情况均有不同,请酌情增减。
下面分享一下几个填表过程中遇到的问题以及我的解决办法(只是我的解决办法,仅供参考,并不是建议):
1. USCIS Account Number 不是A #,本人母亲15年帮我申请过绿卡,有A #,也在USCIS 网站上注册过账号,也找到了当初绿卡和目前OPT的 797 Notice,但是怎么也找不到这个USCIS Account #, 于是索性空着不填。
2. 15年当时 130 的797 Notice上面的A#是1开头 (A1******),新的4封797 Notice 上面的A#变为2开头(A2********),打电话咨询后得知,之前那个1开头的是暂时给I130还在排期的人发的,现在由公民配偶申请无需排期,可以同时转换身份,给我发了个新的2开头,以后需要都是用这个2开头号码。
时间线
09.30.18 结婚
10.01.18 邮寄材料
10.04.18 到达芝加哥lockbox
10.09.18 信用卡已经收费 $535 (130) 和$1,225(485+bio)
10.11.18 收到4个短信通知
10.15.18 收到4封Notice
10.19.18 收到指纹信,给我定了11.02 但是早就定好10.29 - 11.05 去度蜜月,来不了。于是直接杀到field office,过安检后保安大哥叫了supervisor, 大概等了10分钟,一个老爷爷看了我的行程后说没事,回来之后尽快来吧。老爷爷还说哪怕miss了也不会像信上写的那样直接申请作废,我问了一下下周一来可不可以,得到回答“you can try”,这里默认为可以
10.24.18 指纹完毕(拉斯维加斯的人很少,全程10-15分钟)。请大家注意去打指纹的时候一定要注意所有手指都完好无损,22号我就去了,但是因为手上有一点点小破皮,让我回家涂涂lotion, 养好再来,喜欢咬手的小伙伴们要控制一下哈哈)
10.25.18 收到2个短信,同时网上case状态更新 "Fingerprint Review Was Completed" (485 & 765)
(未完待续。。。)
虽然我刚刚打完指纹,进入了漫长的等待期,无法和大家分享完整经验。如果有什么指纹前的问题随时欢迎在这里留言,我也会尽力给与解答。祝大家申请顺利~~
